Flitteriffic birthday party

Maridee and I just spent a couple of fun filled weeks in never land planning "the best birthday party" ever. It wasn't for us. Well, maybe it was a little. But Mason and Lacie have birthdays only a week apart and they love each other so, so much. So how could we not throw them the party of our (i mean their) dreams?
We are so, so proud of the cake. Maridee made sure to do her homework before attempting such a confectionary wonder. Cake boss was a fabulous resource. And I couldn't pass up those teeny-tiny tink figurines. The flowers are made of smooshed and rolled out gumdrops. Again, Maridee's idea (she is the girl with the plans!) BTW, since we couldn't possible allow anyone to desecrate our masterpiece, we baked cupcakes. Met made adorable tshirts for our guests that had the cutest little fairy wings on the back for the girls and captain hook's hook on the back. We added a pirate element for the boys. We had play dough with pixie dust in it, Mermaid lagoon with a pirate ship to climb in and an ocean of blue balloons, and a picture treasure hunt. Thanks, Grandma for the face-painting. That was a huge hit with the three year old set.
Maridee sculpted a fabulous tree out of paper (paper is definately her medium) and I drew a freaky peter pan and a psycho mermaid. Hopefully the guests don't get nightmares :). We decorated with all kinds of fairies and flowers and pastel colors. All the older kids dressed up as pirates, fairies, and Gage was Peter Pan. Since we needed our little pixies to be absolutely cute, we made them pettiskirts. There is a tutorial on Martha Stewart. But if you wish to try this... Warning! It takes a lot of time!! But time with ruffles and fluff and pink is time well spent in my book!
All in all, I think the party was a success. And the kids liked it to. And to the parents of the guests, You're welcome for the giant pixie sticks :)
